Page) In addition to taking this long step toward league competition in football, the presidents approved -the principle of round-robin com petition in other sports, reaffirmed the ban on spring football prac tice and on athletic scholarships and rewrote and extended slight ly the agreement, originally adopt ed in 1945 and revised in 1952. . The eight Iry group colleges are Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dart mouth. Harvard, Pennsylvania, Princeton and Yale. They already are associated in leagues or as sociations in virtually every' sport but football, although most of the leagues also include other col leges. The revised agreement sets no , definite number pi games for foot- ball schedules. Since 1945 the group has limited .the football schedules to nine games a year. This leaves the possibility that the Ivy , teams can meet such tradi tional rivals , as Army and Navy regularly and still play seven league games. NAVY CRUSHES FOE ANNAPOLIS, Md.

The man in question is Eddie Cole, who hasnt been in the NWC ranks for some months since his retirement at College of Ida ho. Cole is the most likely prospect for the head football job at the University of Idaho, mainly, due to his fine record as a recruit er of pigskin talent Sam Votes, current mentor at C of I, was handed his championship team by Cole, who drew players from as far off as Chicago and Los Angeles to the Coyote fold . . . j Mighty strange, a team winning three games in a week and dropping two notches in the AP polL Such was the fate of the Seattle University Chieftains, currently sixth in the national rankings. The week that Oregon State lost to Duke and To- ' lane in the Dixie Classic the Beavers dropped from fourth to tenth, according to the experts ... Seattle only needs three more victories to set a new national standard for consecutive wins but they only have two games left on their schedule. Pretty safe bet that the Fire Chiefs will get into some sort of post season action, even if they are minus their captain, Wayne Sanf ord, who's out for the rest of the year with a broken ankle, the final SU pair is with the Portland University Pilots up Pu get Sound way February 25 and 26 .. j The Oregon Collegiate Conference just seems to attract the un usual, or at least so it appears. In football each and every year the OCE Wolves-have started out the season with 'only a fair' team, according to Coach Bill McArthur. The Wolves have yet to lose an OCC game. Last year Eastern Oregon "backed' into the basketball championship in a weird mixup that included the forfeiture of some games by the Portland State Vikings. Now comes along the controversy over the Viks' last second win over the Wolves Satur day night ... S ! Imagine the Ted Ogdahls, of the Willamette Ogdahls, were more than a little pleased to welcome a daughter-type addition to their family last week. Ted shouldn't be in such danger play ing dolls as he is when playing footbaU on the beach with his two young sons. Ogdahl will be happy to lean that Larry Me Keel has a footballer that he has coached down at Tillamook High all set to enroll it WU next falL McKeeL ex-Bearcat pig skin star, besides handling the gridders for the Cheesemakers also coaches wrestling and track. He indicated the other day that his top back in '53, Ron Stewart, is definitely interested in attending the Salem school.
